INTERN: PROMOTING ADVANCES IN EUROPEAN HIGHER BUSINESS EDUCATION THROUGH ICT ― SUPPORTED VIRTUAL INTERNSHIPS

摘要

Many Higher Educational Institutions report a significantly increased demand from both students and companies for some form of international internship within courses established as full time study programmes. Such internships can make an important contribution towards an improvement in the quality and relevance of a student's business education. However access to such internships requires both flexibility and the allocation of considerable resources on the part of Higher Educational Institutions, companies and, in particular, students that means that only a limited number of programme participants can avail of such opportunities. The INTERN project demonstrates the approach being taken by a group of European business colleges to find a new way to meet these demands for Internships.
